Deuteronomy 2:25 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:25

This day will I begin to put the dread of thee
And so fulfil the prophecies delivered by Moses in ( Exodus 15:14-16 )

and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven;
not only the neighbouring nations, the Edomites, Moabites, Ammonites, Philistines, and Canaanites, but nations more remote even throughout the whole world:

who shall report of thee;
of what was done for Israel in Egypt, and at the Red sea, and in the wilderness; and particularly of the delivery of Sihon and Og, kings of the Amorites, and of their kingdoms into their hands:

and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee;
lest they should proceed on, and make conquests of their lands also; see ( Joshua 2:9-11 ) .

Deuteronomy 2:25 In-Context

23 And the Evites who dwell in Asedoth to Gaza, and the Cappadocians who came out of Cappadocia, destroyed them, and dwelt in their room.

24 Now then arise and depart, and pass over the valley of Arnon: behold, I have delivered into thy hands Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land: begin to inherit : engage in war with him this day.

25 Begin to put thy terror and thy fear on the face of all the nations under heaven, who shall be troubled when they have heard thy name, and shall be in anguish before thee.

26 And I sent ambassadors from the wilderness of Kedamoth to Seon king of Esebon with peaceable words, saying,

27 I will pass through thy land: I will go by the road, I will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
